Gentle, Natural Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Waukee, IA
At True Life Wellness, we believe every child deserves a healthy, balanced start in life. Our pediatric chiropractic care in Waukee, IA is designed to support your child’s development, comfort, and overall wellness—from infancy through adolescence.
Children go through tremendous growth, and their developing nervous systems can be easily affected by birth trauma, physical activity, or postural habits. Pediatric chiropractic care provides gentle, non-invasive adjustments that help correct misalignments, improve nervous system function, and promote optimal health in a safe, natural way.

Our care is gentle, precise, and customized for each child’s age, size, and developmental stage. Chiropractic adjustments for children are much softer than those for adults—often involving light fingertip pressure or gentle instrument-assisted techniques.
